[Papervision3D] Playing with video

[Paul Spitzer]

I think it will still work for you but it probably depends on how you 
loading the video. Are you using NetStream to pull in an FLV? If that's 
the case, the solution should work. It's exactly the same thing I'm 
doing. If the video is embedded in a SWF (or something else?) than... 
well, I'm not sure.
